I'm still convinced the idea of Cory having "panic attacks" is a nyth, much like Bigfoot or the female orgasm.

His first playoff game was intense and he cramped up. Maybe the pressure got to him a little, it happens to every player at some point in the NHL. Now we're throwing him under the bus for one game but Luongo gets a mulligan for multiple bed-shittings and a crappy regular season?

Enter Cory Schneider, who, if you listen around town, has either had the flu, foot fungus, mono, a knee strain, a groin strain, anxiety, cramps or post-traumatic stress disorder.

I actually don’t think people exploring the idea of whether Schneider is suffering from anxiety unfair. He revealed to me earlier this season that he didn’t think it was dehydration which forced him to leave the Chicago playoff game two years ago. He came to realize it was a panic attack.

For now, I think exploring this issue as a root of the current problem is misguided. He was forced off the ice for five straight days last week. And that sure doesn’t fit.
